    Ahh, takes me back to my last year of primary school days, and me my friends constantly getting excited for the smiler and this was how I got into rollercoasters which has resulted in me today filming my drone over the smiler, this ride holds a special place in my heart.

      Connor clh I'm very sure it is faster. The loops and inversions are a bit less wild, but they are much more intense because of the speed.

    Went to Alton towers yesterday, but when we went on at the end of the day, they said they were having 'technical issues', we wanted to go on so we stayed in the queue for an hour and 10 minutes (even though the prediction was 35 mins)! It was worth the wait, but it was so annoying standing in the queue for a long time!

    • @panicking5611

      70mins is not that long compared to what people wait on peak days 🤷‍♀️

    • @louir2165
      @louir2165 4 роки тому

      nobody. Yeah i was there the other day and it was advertised as a 50 minute queue but we figured that they were only running 3 trains so operations werent the best but then one train got stuck after the first inside inversion for 20 minutes, then nothing happened for about 10, then they tested for about half an hour and overall we waited just over 2 hours

    • @DestinyBattlefrontUpdates
      @DestinyBattlefrontUpdates 10 років тому +1

      Dosnt really matter, we use both, miles per hour when talking about speeds etc but either metres or kilometres when it comes to distance. Just depends on the scale of that distance which is used... Its really just personal preferance however you are correct, everything is basically metric.

      Green is people that use metric. What is wrong with you guys? Why can't you just be normal? xD You just don't understand what's going on as much when the rest of the world is talking.
      And in the UK we use the metric system. So we say degrees celcius, use grams and kilos and say miles and miles per hour. I don't even know how heavy a pound is or how far a kilometer is. Which is annoying when we drive over the border into Ireland and you don't realise you are actually in Ireland and everything is in kilometres. It's stupid xD
